Correlation between umbilical cord blood lipid profile and neonatal birth weight

TG, TC, LDL, and VLDL levels in LBW and high birth weight newborns were significantly higher than in normal weight newborns. TC and LDL were significantly lower in neonates whose mother's age ≤ 30 years compared to older mothers. TC and LDL were significantly higher in group whose mother's BMI ≤ 25 compared to >25. Another prospective study with more sample size is recommended to finding correlation between neonatal birth weight and cord blood lipid profile.
